These days, non-fiction book titles – and subtitles – can be extremely hyperbolic, promising a great deal more than they deliver. But the title of Lee Harris’s Lincoln, Roosevelt, Trump: Three Profiles in World-Historical Leadership actually undersells the contents. For this isn’t some lazy rehash of three presidencies: it’s one of those exceedingly rare books that take on a huge swath of history – in this case, American history from the Puritans to the present – and, by tracing one or more recurring patterns, clarify, to a remarkable extent, the social, economic, and political developments of recent years. Even those of us who’ve made a career of examining these developments carefully, and who’ve reflected upon some of the historical parallels that Harris adduces, haven’t done anywhere near as elegant and thorough a job of putting it all together as he does.
